Once finished, set them aside. Next, melt the butter in a frying pan set to medium-high heat. Sauté the onions until translucent, then add in the eggs and green pepper and begin whisking gently. Don't go too fast or the eggs will splash everywhere. When the eggs have just started forming clumps, whisk in the cream. Mix in the salt and chili flakes, and then continue cooking for another 3-5 minutes, or until no liquid egg remains. Once done, set this aside, and begin laying out your tortillas. \ With a spoon, dollop the refried beans down the centre of each tortilla, then layer the tater tots, eggs, cheese, and tomato. Fold each tortilla at both ends and then roll. Individually wrap each burrito in wax paper or paper towel. You can store these in the freezer for up toa month, and just take them out as needed. To reheat, remove it from the paper and heat it up in the oven for 15 minutes at 400 degrees. Prepping breakfast like this is the perfect plan for any busy student— especially if you have early morning classes! And if the vegetarian thing isn’t really your cup of tea, they taste just as good with some chicken, bacon strips, or crumbled = breakfast sausage mixed in.

When did I finish all nine seasons? A mere 20 days later. However you phrase it, those 201 episodes translated into 2.7 days or 65 hours of office parties, pranks, and promotions. Don't get me wrong; it was not an easy task. But somehow, I managed to fit eight years of television into the short span of three weeks. How did I do it? How can I explain? Before I do, let me preface with the events leading up to this legendary binge. Within the past year, the binge- watching phenomenon everyone raved about finally reared its ugly head and grabbed hold of me. Upon setting up my first Netflix account at the end of 2015, I breezed through The Mindy Project, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Freaks and Geeks, and Friends. After what I deemed as quite an eventful winter vacation, I took a much needed break from Netflix. ] deactivated my account and went cold turkey. I returned shortly after in May 2016, and since then it’s been a journey through the past few months, having watched all seasons of Arrested Development, Community, How to Get Away With Murder, and a re-watch of How I Met Your Mother. Last year, a handful of my friends began watching The Office after finding it on Netflix. They praised the humour, so I gave the first season a go back in June. I didn’t find it amusing in the slightest, but I returned once again to the show at the start of 2017 and discovered a love for the deadpan mockumentary series. Twenty days later and it was all over. The most important aspect of binge- watching is fitting the show around your life. Surprisingly, I found ways to watch the episodes on a steady stream without missing deadlines simply by multitasking whenever I could. I cleaned my room to the sounds of the theme song, cooked Ingredients: 2 cups frozen tater tots 2 tbsp butter 8 eggs (beaten) 1/3 cups cream 1 can of refried beans 2 cups of grated cheddar cheese 1 cup of grated Monterey Jack cheese 2 tomatoes (diced) % white onion (diced) 1 green pepper (chopped) 1 tsp salt ltsp chili flakes 8 tortillas (whatever kind you prefer) meals while Dwight and Angela had an affair, washed the dishes while Pam and Jim had their wedding, and took transit to classes when Michael moved away with Holly. On some days, I would take advantage of the time I had before classes by watching several episodes one after the other. All in all, I was able to remain in control. Sometimes moderation beats bingeing— it’s all in how you go about it. Ideally, binge watching can be a pastime that doesn’t waste time and fits into your daily grind. Then again, who are we kidding? Treat yourself every now and then to a binge watching marathon. You never know how many fantastic shows are still waiting to be watched.
